They're generally ugly as hell and some of them are even uglier than hell. (Yes, it's possible.) A standard recliner in a room always looks like something that couldn't be moved (like a pillar or huge junction box) and has to be ignored. A room with two recliners looks like a spacious motor home. Even if they're not ugly (some midcentury ones are funky, and some new ones don't look like recliners) I don't like reclining. It's the most unpleasant way to watch TV or read. It's great for the dentist's office and it's an OK option if there's no couch to sleep on (or you're sleeping in the car). But for just sitting around it sucks. I don't mind putting my feet up sometimes but in a recliner it just feels stupid, like I'm in a car that's missing an engine and wheels. And as this photo will show I'm not the only one who has thought a recliner feels like that.
